Love

Love is no game. If you play with love, you will find only discomfort and pain. You can never love someone if you cannot first love yourself. To love yourself is to shun the words of the wicked and acknowledge the words of the kind, but nurish neither. Let not your neighbor label you for your neighbor judges you by your outermost appearance. If you cannot look in the mirror and say "I love me", then you shall be shamed when you say to your neighbor "I love you" for you know not what love is. Be selfless in love and you shall flourish but if you dwell in your selfish ways then surely you will fall.
Young ones. Do not say to your neighbor "I love you" when you are bound by insecurities for pain will strike the heart like a wild fire scorches a forest. You know not what love is. You have not yet experienced life. Nor have you met multitudes. One man can cause more pain than an army. A woman can devour like a lion does its prey. Compare and choose wisely for love lasts an eternity and the one you "love" is the one you will spend the rest of the days of your life with. You are feeling lust at this age. You want what feels good; what looks good. If you look at a man or woman and your insides start feeling funny or your mind tells you that person looks good, this is not love. Love is from the heart and the heart cannot see.
There is so much more about love that i need to learn and i am willing to learn. Are you?
